Dear Members,

Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.

Re: Shikamaru is the SMARTEST shinobi in narutoverse!!!

Shikamaru has to sit still and close his eyes to come up with a strategy.

The three I listed above can come with a strategy during combat. No need to sit down and think.

Actually in the battle with Hidan he hold Hidan analysed him and came up with a strategy in seconds so I'll have to disagree with this.
And he was holding still because he was holding Hidan, his eyes were perfectly open because he had to analyse Hidan's jutsu and in the same time after all this came with a tactical counteraction in like... 1 minute?
So no...

He was still sitting still. That's not an excuse. In all his fights he either came up with a plan before hand or at some time during the fight he sat still long enough for him to come up with a plan.

The guy is smart be he has to be comfortable and focus to come up with a good plan. You need to go back and watch his fights.

But why he was sitting still? Remember? Because he had to hold Hidan not to impale himself in order to protect Asuma.
You are talking about the past here, the present is different. Every since the battle with Hidan we haven't seen him doing that.

It's funny that you keep bringing up him sitting still in that one fight with hidan and asuma but he has done the almost the same exact thing in ALL his other fights. Temari the female ninja from the sound 4. Which he failed to come up with a plan because she wouldn't allow him to focus.

Re: Shikamaru is the SMARTEST shinobi in narutoverse!!!

Define "Smartest Shinobi" in Naruto-verse. I don't think you can. Everyone is smart in they own way. However, it would be your opinion to say otherwise. I would say Shikaku would be the "Smartest Shinobi" in Naruto-verse.
